Huh? Band Nite is used all the time. All the power of Band Salamence but with added bonus of Extremespeed and near immunity to being wiped out in one hit.
Lucario seems to be underrated. LO + 4 attacks is nearly impossible for most teams to safely switch in on especially with most Gliscor not running as much speed now.
Wrong... I use Sword Dance Lucario in my main team!!! Once, my main team ruled and had a rate of 8/10 but than when I couldn't play for 2 months... my rate became in the red <.< so I s*ck again and every1 thinks I'm bad in competitive <_< The team is a HYPER OFFENSIVE team and it's really good with my buddy: "lucario"!!! ;D
It's still underrated. You're just one person, and you using it alone won't make it popular.Wrong... I use Sword Dance Lucario in my main team!!!

People often overlook it for it's base 90 speed stat, and most offensive pokemon use base 100 speed or more, with the exception of dragon dancers.
True I don't see too many Lucarios now a days. I keep one about because I like the design and its wide movepool like Dragon Pulse, Flame Kick, Shadow Claw, etc
One underrated threat is Jynx. (Anybody remember what that is?)
It is a menace in hail, and can wipe out an entire team if the opponent is not prepared (which usually they aren't because Jynx is pretty much never seen).
Tempted to try this now...Actually, it's a menace in Rain. It's DW ability, Dry Skin, heals in Rain AND makes it immune to Water-moves. It becomes one of the better checks against a Kyogre, taking STAB water moves all day while boosting with Nasty Plot. Plus, Lovely Kiss allows it to put most of its counters to sleep, allowing it to continue to set up against its threats, which, if you think about it, are pretty common. It can Lovely Kiss on the switch of a predicted Darkrai or Mewtwo, and put un-boosted Rayquaza, Kyogre, non-Restalk Giratina, Dialga, Zekrom, and Ho-Oh to sleep and either boost up against it or blast it with Ice Beam or Focus Blast, resulting in a neutral or SE hit against all of the aforementioned Pokemon and more.

I have observed a few from the lower ranks through wifi experience.
a. A Skill link/Technician Cinccino is like a little sister of the technician Scizor/ Skill link cloyster. I used her against some of the common OUs and performs her job well. (she's not EVd when I used her against EVd ones)
b. A DW lightning rod Seaking? (WOW!) It only fear grass types now. Electricity means nothing to this fish
c. Microwave rotom Is a fear factor to Ground types without rock or water moves since EQ's Super effective power is nothing unless Gravity is running.
d. Latias is another underrated one due to offensive approach difference.
e. Mesprit is another underrated Jack of all trades pokemon since her 2 other partners and the phantom poketroop are often seen than her.
f. Physical Jirachi is rarely seen thanks to the advent of SCALD! (NOOOOOOO!) Once with a few counters from the previous gens, now the wisher fears almost all water types thanks to SCALD! The Iron flinch terror was drastically weakened, only Psyshock replaced the less accurate Zen Headbutt.
g. Gutsy Luxray is not so found much when it got drastically better in small ways this current gen.
h. Scrappy Miltank is rarely seen to fight back against ghosts.
a) Cinccino still lacks Scizor's priority or Cloyster's Shell Smash. Both also have better defenses, so Cinccino will always play second fiddle to them, especially since Cloyster's UU and Skill Link's unreleased.I have observed a few from the lower ranks through wifi experience.

This sums up a good chunk of this thread. I'll admit that not all are bad, though.Well, some of those aren't so much underrated as they are bad.
